The African Heritage Festival is the flagship program of the Bridges to Africa Foundation. Bridges 2 Africa Foundation is a Nashville-based non-profit that promotes African Heritage through hands-on events and educational opportunities.

“ Everyone, particularly African Americans, owes it to themselves and generations to come to make the connection to Africa and possibly even make the life-changing pilgrimage to Africa. There is a disconnect between what the African continent is and what it has been portrayed to be over the years. As a foundation, our mission is to bridge the gap and give back to Mother Africa.”
